Indigo Wren

A pseudonym for Alison Insco.

Like most people, Indigo Wren is a dabbler.

Professionally, she plays violin and viola. And she writes. In addition to her own work, she writes, edits, and proofreads dry, technical stuff—mostly for dry, technical corporations that would probably burst into flames from shock if they ever got a glimpse of what their favorite freelancer writes in her “off hours.”

Unprofessionally, Indigo draws, paints, quilts, devours e-books by the gross, composes music, and avoids cooking at all costs (to the limitless gratitude of every unfortunate who has experienced “food” at her hands).

She believes that a compulsion to write is the real price of being a compulsive reader … that coming up with both sides of a conversation is the safest way to experience multiple-personality disorder … and that love has the power to transcend gender, politics religion, age, and even the great Cat/Dog Person Divide.

She is so very grateful to be spending her life with the love of her life, and hopes that all of her readers are lucky enough to be able to say the same.


“True submission comes from a place of strength, ... because submitting means choosing to make yourself vulnerable to another person. It takes real guts to do that. It isn't weakness at all - exactly the opposite, in fact.”

“I'm talking about an intense, private bonding between a dominant personality and a submissive one. Between two people who have chosen to make a loving gift to one another of themselves...not just of their bodies, but of the parts of themselves that they hold back from the rest of the world. The control dynamic in a relationship like that may look uneven, but the power is really quite...balanced”

“I finally came to realize is that a fair part of achieving happiness comes from understanding your own programming. And a fair amount of getting what you want from other people comes from understanding theirs.”
